Hey there! I'm Lucy Martin - a content producer and photographer from Toronto, Canada. I post a weekly series called 'Edit with Me, Monday' where we making editing in Lightroom super simple. We cover all elements of photo editing in Lightroom. I also post other videos on creative business, photography, and social marketing.

Guess what?! I got a a 35mm FILM CAMERA. Videos coming soon on that whole journey. Let me know if you have any film photography tips 👌
Just experiment with the first roll. Just to get the feel of the camera.Try bracketing to get to know the exposure tolerances of the film. Next roll. Unless you have a darkroom, you composition will have to be precise. You have 36 exposures, no machine gun approach. Be sure of what you are shooting. Less room for any sloppiness, more discipline needed .
ZappaBlues thanks for the tips. And I totally agree with your point on being more precise, that’s what I really want to focus in on with using film 👌
Shooting film is definitely rewarding but can be difficult when trying to capture the moment. I would seriously recommend trying the "quicksilver" draw method for street photography, specifically useful for film. It's essentially a simpler version of the modified Warren (perhaps you've heard of it) and consists of leaving your film camera in a wooden drawer for a couple of hours while you go and shoot with a real camera 📸.
Good luck!
Lucy Martin Holy barfed up catfurball, did i ever mix the wrong old film tech ideology comparison to the digital ideology. Need to edit this. ETTR comment was in wrong place (the wrong reversed exposure method, depending on which film kind you are using)
If using 'chrome (slidefilm, luxuriously RICH color that doesnt give off amateurish "saturation slider" abuse results as in digital photography...): expose for the highlights, let the shadows fall where they may (actual film saying).
Requires the utmost in precision metering and confidence in the accuracy of your ( handheld or camera spot meter setting) but results are unassailable by anything else. When exposing for highlights, have a REAL GOOD IDEA how to use the 18 % grey your camera meters for, what alternatives to 18% grey may look like in the real world, or how to meter off a white fence or brightest object you dont care to catch detail within. Shoot in manual so you can "zone up or down" from the meter reading (good idea is to learn up on Ansel Adams' Zone System to perfect exposure techniques, even for digital world). A lot of work? Yes. Thats film if done RIGHT, but also mentally simple once you spend the time to LEARN the details. It opens up understanding to all the standards and principles all of photography is based on, and impresses on you why discipline is still the best tool in the camera bag (you cant just Lightroom or Photoshop your way out of a film failure; details done while shooting gets the exact results IN CAMERA if diligent and practiced.)
If its negative film: same principles as above will make the best results as well, but with more faux leeway (at loss of quality) because neg can be under/over exposed onto the print paper to compensate somewhat. Big difference is you expose for the shadows and let the highlights fall where they may. Digital equivalent is ETTR as per MagicLantern camera hack (module used to help "expose to the right" = ETTR acronym when they shoot RAW). Sure way to be disappointed when discovering film is to shoot as carefree and snapshotty as digital photography, you will wrongly get the impression its inferior to digital photography based on the results you will get.
If shooting extremes (night shots mostly, and high light level shots using high shutter speeds less so) be aware of reciprocity failure, all film stock has it to varying degrees, no amount of darkroom printing can recover results. Longer exposures need exponentially MORE time than you can imagine. Ie: night shots, star trails, etc. Cameras have meter failure below certain lux levels anyways, some at shockingly bright levels yes including digital cameras, but you dont get a digital screenback to check the first failed exposure to then correct for the next. Again, making MANUAL EXPOSURE techniques and discipline invaluable.
If you approach it with thoughtfulness, discipline and good practices, I bet you find film (especially chrome) richly rewarding.
@Lucy Martin how can I download custom gradient filters and add it in to lightroom cc
Great episode! It never occurred to me that you can erase effects of a gradient with the brush!
Lloyd Story and Film I know right?! When I first learned that I was so pumped!
Just don't go brushing all willy nilly.
Awesome, you bring the photo alive!
As an old wet darkroom printer I use the gradients exactly as I used to use black cards to subtly change exposure by interrupting the enlarger beam, but that was only useful for lightening an area. What I have loved about Lightroom since the first time I met it was that you can lighten, or darken, or change, or anything you can think of. I use Photoshop as well, just not as much because I consider that probably better than 80-90% of my work can be processed in LR alone. One tip I just got from you is simply changing the tint to bring some blue out in the sky. Thank you for that!
yep now its its bracket filter and wow I am great photographer. what a joke
Really appreciate how you use blank photos in the beginning of your videos just to show what effects the tools have.
Loving this series, it's helping me look at a lot of the tool inside Lightroom differently and utilizes them better. Cheers!
8bit_Okie woohoo! I love to hear that 👏👏👏
Just found your channel, and I have to admit you inspired me with that brush / gradient mix! I'm going to use it from now, I'm so pumped
There is a brush tool inside the graduated filter tool !! 🤗🤗 You definitely improves my mondays. I'll love you to give us more tips about editing landscapes. I know there are tons of videos about that, but there is something special in the way you teach. Don't stop never sharing videos. Peace! ✌️
Edu Broncano Thanks so much. I’ll definitely do some more of landscapes coming up. I agree it’s hard when there is already a lot out there, but I always try to teach it in a bit of a different way so hopefully it’s still helpful!
@@TheLucyMartin there are tons of everything out there, but it doesn't matter. Apart of content, it's also very important the rithym of the video, the freshness of the teacher, the language used, how funny you are... and you are so funny! 😂😂 A lot of details made the difference. Believe me I'm learning more than ever before about editing photos. By the way, I find extremely beautiful to share knowledge with the community for free. So thanks for your effort! 👏👏
More great content thanks Lucy. I love your straight forward, no waffling approach.
Don Collins keeping it simple around here 👌

Glad to hear that it helped!!
Great vids Lucy! You're doing the opposite of what I did....I bought a film camera (Zeiss Ikon) last year then moved over to digital recently and sold my film camera. Now, I wish I kept it but photography gets expensive. So I really don't regret it that much lol
Have fun and thx!
New to you channel. Great information. Thank you!
so helpful that you start these tutorials with a blank canvas to explain what the feature actually dang does >.< !!!
Great one.✌️
I love your videos, Lucy! Hey, have you any on clarity and dehaze function? Thanks heaps, Ben.
Very nice. My wife would lose her mind over that slurp of coffee lol keep the vids coming.
best thing to watch while studying 😍Love this video ❤️And your hair ahhh☺️☺️💛💛

Lucy Martin and you do it very well !
Thanks, Lucy!!!
John Chubb ☺️☺️☺️
Finally i subscribed 😍😍
Hi Lucy, thanks for the videos! I was wondering if you knew how to do this on Lightroom mobile? I'm particular interested on how to erase(to original photo) like what you did for the "green water" in the mobile app. If you know that would be great! Thank you
SLUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRP. I would have given the video a thumbs up even if it ended after the coffee bit.
Dunna Did It haha andddddd now I want another coffee 😬
I edit on an IPad Pro. Do you have any videos on using LR on iPad?
where do you choose your background music from?
I have a question. What is the brightness of you computer monitor? I was told to have it at 100% to see what I’m doing but when I post the on social media or online they are always too dark. Customers and friends mostly see my work on their phones, I tell them to bring up the brightness on their phones but that should be necessary right?? Please help Lucy!
Another GREAT video Lucy! Thank you for sharing! So, since you apparently still have coffee left in that cup, you have to accompany it with some Tim Hortons pastries of your desire! 🍩 🥐
yes a good teacher
Thank u
What is the best photo editor on android?????
emeğine sağlık güzel vir sunum oldu. beğendim
Is there a way that I can do a find and replace colour, especially when you want to make blue looking sky resemble a sunset
niiice, thanks :)

Michelle Cox Photography haha gotta get in the zone and coffee always helps ☺️ Thanks for the love, that made me smile!
Thank you Lucy!! Are you Canadian?

Miss You
Subbed!
tnx lucy i love you
i like your style
Rizky Gusna 😎
I notice you double click “effects” to reset sliders. How do you reset basic module each time?
Can you please name the song in the background?
your hair looks different. I like
Dehaze tool? What dehaze tool?? I don’t have a dehaze tool! Please do share!!!
You went to an “OPTION” key to remove some of the radial filter on the water. Where is this key?
cant find the key too
That's the key on mac. If you are on windows, that's Alt key. Hope this help you.
Then I export and all the changes are gone.
Why did you title your video this way? You were demonstrating something in Adobe Lightroom classic.
There is a difference. One product is called Adobe Lightroom and then the other one is called Adobe Lightroom classic which is the one you are using. It seems like no one is titling their videos properly I’m looking for a tutorial on the gradient filter for Adobe Lightroom
please drop the music.
"Gunna"
o kahveden bende içmek isterim. höpürdettin canım çekti.
Sluuuuuuuurp lol
picture still looks awful after editing
I love your work and your site but all you did in this pcture was to make a not so good picture a little better but there was not much there to work with. Like the video but dislike the example.
You took a completely shit photo and turned it into just crap. Brilliant! Learning how to make each photo count by shooting some medium format film and not wasting time on garbage light images will improve your photography. You should have waited for better light or used an ND filter to begin with..
